When catarrh has existed in the head and
! the upper part of the throat for any length
of tme-the patient living III district where
| people are subject to catarrhal affecton-and
| the disease has been left incurred, the catarrh
| invariably sometimes slowly, sometimes
more rapidly-eXtends down the windpipe
aud into the bronchial tubes, which tubes con-
| vey the air to the different parts OF
the lungs. The tubes become OBJ.
| structed from the swelling and the
| mucus arising from catarrh, and In such
| instances become plugged up so that the air
cannot get in as freely as it should. Shortness
| of breath follows. and the patient breathes
with labor and difficulty. In other cases a
sound of cracking and wheeling inside the
! chest is due to the bursting CT air bubbles in
the mucuS in the bronchial tubes. At this
stage of the disease the breathing is usu-
ally more rapid than when in health. The
patient at this stage may have hot flashes
| over his body. The pain which accompanies
this condition Is of dull character, felt in
the chest, back of the breast bone, or under
the shoulder blsde. The pain may come and
go-last a few days and then be absent for
several others. The cough that occurs in the
first stages of bronchial catarrh is dry, comes
on at intervals, is hacking in character and
| usually the most troublesome in the morning
| and it may be the first evidence of the
| disease extending into the lungs. At
first there may be nothing brought up with
the cough. then there is a little tough, tena-
cious mucus which the patient finds great
difficulty in bringing up. Som etimes there
are fits of coughing induced by the tough
mucus so violent are to cause vomiting. Later
on the mucus that is raised is found to con-
tain small particles of yellow matter, which
indicate that the small tubes in the lungs are
now affected. With this there are often
streaks OF blood mixed with the mucus In
some cases the patient becomes very pale. In
some cases small masses Of a cheesy SUBJ
stance are spit up, which, when pressed be-
tween the fingers, emit a bad odor. In other
cases particles of a hard, chalky nature are
spit up, showing that some old trouble has
existed prior to this condition. The raising
of cheesy Or chalky Jumps indicate serious
mischief at work in the lungs. In some cases
catarrh will extend into the lungs in a few
weeks. In other cases it may be months, and
even years, before the disease attacks the
lungs. When the disease is developed to this
point the patient is said to have catarrhal
consumption. With bronchial catarrh there
is more or less fever, which differs with the
different parts of the iay-slight in the morn
ing, higher in the afternoon and evening.

SIoEx FALLS. OAK. April 25.-The
three-fall wrestling match between Col.
Mclaughlin and j. c. Comstock on the
challenge of the latter was won by Col.
Mclaughlin after hard struggle. The
crowd was very large and the applause
called forth by some of Comstock's very
brilliant work was frequent. William
Cooper. Of Duluth. was referee. and gave
complete satisfaction. The first bout was
done Oh the collar and-elbow style and was
won by Col. Mclaughlin. This lasted six
teen minutes and was distinguished by
some fine bridges on the part of Comstock.
1t was expected that Comstock would
win the second fall, which was
cut on the Grfeco-Roman pat
tern. Mclaughlin was on the de-
fenSive throughout this whole bout
and finally lay down on his
face. Comstock got the half Nelson
hold upon him, and amid tumultuouS cheers
rolled him over by sheer strength This
bout lasted seventeen minutes. The third
bout was catch as catch can, with jackets,
and was won by Mclaughlin in fourteen
minutes. Comstock made bridge with
Mclaughlin Oh top of him. The colonel

tussle of the whole series, including Satur-
day night At the end of the match Col.
Mclaughlin stated that he had wrestled for
twenty-one years and had never met
stronger man, or harder one to handle
than COmstock. COmstock came off with
flying cOlors. although defeated. The
purse was for 500 and the door receipts.

In breaking he struck Fahey and was
warned against fouling by the referee twice

right on Fahey's face for the first time.

take quickly, however. when he was knocked
clearly off his feet Glow landed at will dur

hands. One of his blows nearly t1oored
Fahey. who managed to keep his feet with
difficulty. AT the close Fahey was decidedly
groggy.

Dear Sir: AS you requested the to write in

b9en sick for twenty months, and have in
that time spent hundreds of dollars for med
icine, from which she derived no benefit
She has now been under your treatment for
three 81 weeks. She began to improve the
second day she took your medicine, and
must say that to-day she is as strong and
well as she ever was. She now gets up in the
morning and takes her meals with the fam
lily. Before beginning your treatment her
stomach would retain no food, her appetite
was very poor and she suffered from terrible
pain in the top of her head; that has now
disappeared. l had despaired of her ever
having well day again; but, thanks to your
skillfu treatment she is we'll.
